According to the constitution of the united states, libel should be solved out of the courts simply by notifying everyone of the incorrect information. Then, supposedly, the case is settled (although there is no legal mechanism for this). If legaly significant libelous content is found, we could notify all of the users (by email) who viewed it and change the content. If we recieved a notice that we were to be sued, a notice could be put on the front page notifying everyone of the falsness of the content in addition to what I said above. We should probably also put some sort of legal disclaimer on the front page. Could you get the lawyer to write one for you?
